Please direct questions about the eNOI form to the Stormwater Program staff in the Raleigh central
office. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future, the new responsible party must
obtain a new COC.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCG01 permit require that the following documentation be
kept on file at the job site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.
Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
ensure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act is performance-oriented,requiring protection
of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this
project, the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 through 66),
this office may require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to ensure
compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State
water quality laws, regulations, and rules. In addition, local city or county ordinances or rules may
also apply to this land-disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or
approval.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the
Financial Responsibility Form and on the plan, which you provided. You are requested to file an
amended form if there is any change in the information included on the form.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
